Yippee-IA, Motherf***ers! IRRATIONALLY ANGRY PT. 2: Irrationally Angrier

Man, this American bicameral legislative system is a real two-tortilla burrito

lol

as useless as tits on a bull a two tortilla burrito

I like to think of the two-tortilla burrito as making the best of what you have.

what we think of the two-tortilla burrito says much more about us than the two-tortilla burrito

the two tortilla burrito in you is the reality in you

I am two-tortilla burrito!

god i could really go for two burritos

Books that are told in first-person viewpoint and recount long dreams full of dialogue quoted verbatim. Dreams do not work like that. And they're boring to hear/read about.

I have a facebook friend who posts his dreams all the time -- he's a good writer and they're very imaginative and poetic dreams and they're STILL boring as fuck to read about. I've only known one person ever whose dreams were interesting to hear.

And we all get free parking on his birthday every January.

lol

carl agatha is the only person I've know who can recount dreams in an interesting way. I can't figure out her trick. Probably she's a witch.

I'm definitely a witch.

Also thank you.

Here's one: I had a dream I was changing a baby (not Ivy, thank god) and instead of legs, it had catfish whiskers.

What's your trick? Let's workshop my dreams.

Xp I hate you

It was really hard to get a diaper to stay on!

Maybe she tells the interesting dreams to you only.

The Xfinity One commercial featuring Abrams Spock and Abrams Chekov talking about how they must be in the future because of this awesome cable OS makes me fly into screaming rages

Maybe she tells the interesting dreams to you only.

Maybe I'm more interesting than you give me credit for!

oooooo

We've got a drop-down menu list of photographers on one of our internal sites. This is what I see when I'm trying to search for an item by that category:

Fred Allen
Jim Baker
Arnold Coolidge
Kim Davis
Kevin Effington
Zack Farner
Nell Garland
Phyllis Hathaway

THAT IS NOT A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

this is a shit article

shit

you really think so? I totally get where he is coming from. The brand of "reading" endorsed by Dead Poets Society seems ready-made for feel-goody high-concept advertisements.

did someone think high school english as portrayed in a movie was the same as grad school critical theory? i bet they feel dumb now

totally, i just feel like

- he didn't need 3500 words to make his sort of obvious point about a 20 year old movie
- putting 'appreciation' in opposition to close reading is fucking nonsense

"everyone says english departments overanalyze things well thats stupid you have to analyze things instead of just having feelings about them"

its a spirited defense of bloodlessness

- putting 'appreciation' in opposition to close reading is fucking nonsense

^^^ a million times this

And it's what I think when people get het up about analyzing jokes. For me, picking apart a joke doesn't "kill it," it gives it a second life.

Otherwise entertaining podcasts where they can't be bothered to edit out the boring 20 mins at the start where set up and complain about Skype glitches, etc etc

How Windows 7 likes to display every new folder window with the following 'details':

#
Title
Contributing Artists
Album

So instead of just me clicking a button or two so I can see file size and date, I have to unclick all these mp3-centric options and then click all the stuff 'on'. Thanks, MS.

Also, I have received multiple used printers that 100% work in other versions of Windows but REFUSE to do so in Windows 7. Ease of use w peripherals should be the fucking FOUNDATION of your OS. Otherwise this is just DOS in drag.

the literary equivalent of fandom

god forbid people would be fans of literature

Huge 2500 page print job, diligently replenish paper as I go so printer doesn't stop .... 10 sheets shy of finishing it's completely out of paper RAGH FUCK YOU

also the printer trays hold -just shy- of a ream

hate that so much

ok that is ludicrous
also i am so tired right now that i had to type ludacris next to that to see if i spelled ludicrous right, to make sure a red underline would appear if i didn't

sad commentary on ludacris' fortunes

people who are not a) e.e. cummings and b) i GUESS bell hooks but who c) foist their special snowflake requirement of only printing their name in lowercase on everyone who surrounds them

uncapitalization of a person's name actually has the opposite effect of what it purports to be for

there was someone like this at my last job—decidedly NOT an iconic anything—who did this and i never even met her just read her emails and the promotional materials put out by her office but STILL when i think about her i just wanna yell and capitalize things

there's basically no falser act of false humility, although I'm not sure people who do it now even recognize its origins in false humility

do they think of themselves as like orthographic bodhisattvas

what would they do if everyone else suddenly capitulated and de-capitalized themselves too

would the world become a better place

mAkEs YoU tHiNk . . .

BELL HOOS

Hmmm, j.

i GUESS bell hooks

haha

Frankly, even e.e. cummings can go fuck himself on this one.

i kind of figure he gets 'first!!!!!!!!!' rights, kind of like in the modern era people put up with prince's naming shenanigans just for the sheer audacity of it but would not have cottoned to anyone else replicating it

There's this trendy rhetorical argument device that I see a lot lately where people say "___ has only really been the norm for the past 5,000 years or so, which is pretty short in terms of human history" -- it's this very TED Talky/NYTimesy kind of thing.

It's so maddening. It's like "I have the other 45,000 years of modern human history backing ME up" - as though you actually have any fucking clue what the context of human life was in, say, 32,000 BCE.
